My winter beater

no prob.

You had this at your house when I was over a few years ago with my Yellow SRT4, right? I think I remember looking under the hood and thinking to myself (what the hell???)

That was Hectors Samurai. It was also boosted. lol
I bought mine last year

Looks like a lot of fun. :slight_smile:

I am totally down… Mine needs some TLC big time (I’m going through alot of oil and my transmission sounds like a blender full of pennys)

I sold it to my room mate who has since sold it back to me. He broke: the rear door(backed into a tree) the driver side door, the front cross member, the transmission, the hvac ducting, the driver side mirror and a bunch of other stuff.

If you got anything like that I’d love to start piecing this thing back together. It was originally so clean.

Very cool, I have had an 87 tin top for a few years that has been just sitting in my garage. I can not make up my mind on what direction I want to go with the motor.

It was already swaped to a 8v 1.6 before I got it and it turns out it is hosed. I have since picked up another 8v and also have an entire 16v auto pull out from a 4 door tracker.

Please keep this updated, the turbo thing has been at the back of my mind, but have yet to really see any in person with good results.

:tspry:

Ouch! that sucks.
Yeah ive already swapped a 16v into a samurai so i know pretty much what goes where and what not.
Hardest part is rewiring the ecu. Took me 2 days to rewire the damn thing. <— my buds turbo samurai
sorry i dont have any samurai parts.

Nice.
I like my 8v engine. I also have a 16v sitting in my garage. i was going to install it but changed my mind. Im selling that motor btw. lol
16v + turbo is the way to go if youre on a tight budget.
Im going bigger next year…much much bigger. Looking to make close to 400hp with next years setup. :slight_smile: Should be fun[COLOR=“Silver”]

that things awesome, i love the fact your going for ms too…

The thing that is amazing me is that all the info I have found in the past claimed the cranks can not take much more than 200 crank HP before they split.

Not sure how much power you are making but with a 50 trim and 20psi it has to be well over that mark.

I love it when reported info is proven completely wrong.

Join Pirate4x4 and post this in the Suzuki section. The site can be full of ass tards but I think the suzuki section will get a kick out of this!

Im not sure how much power im making. Id love to find out though, lol All i know is that these engines make about 80hp stock. lol
To be honest with you, i dont know how this engine is still running lol. Ive been beating the crap out of it since day one.
I guess as long as i keep the afr where it is …it should last me all winter :slight_smile:

I do have an account with Pirate4x4. I will try and post there later tonight

Update:
After months of beating the piss out of it, engine finally started knocking. lol

22psi + stuck in mud for 30+mins then pulling another stuck samurai =
Loud engine knock lol

Looks like a bad bearing. #2 bearing is fu**ed.
Should be back up and running in no time.
30psi coming soon! lol

I have seen a few guys do rebuilds using honda parts. Is that the direction you are going?

Youre right… A lot of people use d series parts.
Im using OEM suzuki parts. My engine is completely stock and i want to keep it that way.
I was told there was no way in hell id be able to boost more than 7psi on stock internals and im currently @ 25psi
My goal is to daily drive it @ 30+psi stock EVERYTHING :slight_smile:

Cool :tup: That think must be a blast to play with.

lol, Awesome!

That’s great, JoJo, haha.

Glad the meth kit worked out!

Ohh yeah…Works great!
Thanks
